Microbiological detection apparatus

ABSTRACT

MICROBIOLOGICAL GROWTH IS DETERMINED WITH GREAT RAPIDITY BY MEASURING ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY CHANGES IN SEALED CELL HAVING SELECTED VARIETIES OF NUTRIENT MEDIA INOCULATED WITH A SAMPLE CONTAINING SUSPECTED MICROBIAL CONTAMINATION. THE MEASUREMENT AND SELECTION OF NUTRIENT MEDIA ALLOWS DETERMINATION OF THE PRESENCE, TYPE, ANTIBOTIC SENSITIVITY AND A QUANTITATIVE COUNT OF BACTERIA AND OTHER MICRO-ORGANISMS PRESENT IN ANY SELECTED SAMPLE SEVERAL TYPES OF GROWTH AND CONDUCTIVITY CELLS ARE PROVIDED FOR MEASURING THE CHANGE IN ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY.
